Continuity: When Nesmith and DeMarco are in the engineering room aborting the self-destruct sequence, DeMarco's uniform goes from being zipped up before they press the blue button, to being unzipped immediately afterward (the scene has been edited to remove a segment where DeMarco seduces one of Sarris' soldiers).See more »

This film was amazing. I saw the trailers and swore I'd never watch it.
A
couple of friends overruled this after watching it in the theaters, and
I'm
glad they did.

Not only is this film an amusing spoof of Science Fiction Fen-dom, it's a
brilliant action-adventure/science-fiction film in its own right. The
only
other film I can think of that is a righteous satirical look, yet a
splendid
example of the genre, is the Fifth Element.

Galaxy Quest Has It All. Beautiful women in scanty clothing. Love
interests. Computers. Space ships. Ugly and evil monsters. Blasters.
Arcane martial arts. Dynamite catch phrases. And best of all, the very
population that is satirized is the group that Saves The
Day.

The dialogue is brilliant - you'll find yourself quoting from this film
regularly. The acting is marvelous. Tim Allen doing William Shatner
doing
a Heroic Spaceship Captain is worth the rental all by itself, not to
mention
Alan Rickman's memorably dry performance as the
I-Am-Not-My-Strange-Looking-Alien
character.

The first thing I thought upon leaving the theater was that I had to see
this film again. The first thing I thought upon seeing it again was that
I
would have to own this movie. Check it out - you won't be
sorry.
